The edX 2017 Year in Review

EdX will continue its push on MicroMasters and professional education in 2018 after a successful year in 2017.

Last year, edX doubled down on the MicroMasters (with one MIT program bringing in $4 million in revenue) and launched a new credential known as a professional certificate.

These are some of the conclusions from a detailed report written by Dhawal Shah at Class Central.com

EdX currently has 14 million learners, up 10 million learners in 2016. These learners accounted for more than 50 million course enrollments, 16 million of which came about in 2017.

edX has approximately 1,800 courses, 500 of which were added in 2017. A good chunk of these courses came from Microsoft, who now offers over 200 courses as well as 10 Professional Certificate and 8 Xseries programs.

MicroMasters range in price from $540 to $1,500, with the median price being $946.
